Here's how I get around this, in the very infrequent occasion what I want
isn't offered on emusic http://www.emusic.com or from the artists
themselves.  Most of what I listen to is independent ('indie') rock.

- Buy desired item on iTunes.
- Delete tracks from iTunes.
- Purchase drm-free tracks from AllofMP3.

This way I gurantee that the artist gets the payment he deserves, which is
very important to me, and I also get drm-free tracks for about a dollar more
than just buying them through iTunes.  If AllofMP3 ISN'T full of shit
(unlikely) and actually DOES pay the artist in their roundabout way, then
the artist may actually get paid twice -- sweet.

Once jhymn is able to de-DRM tunes bought from the iTunes store again, I'll
be able to skip steps 2 and 3.
